Hostile NPCs
There are several hostiles or aliens found in Space Engineers that spawn from various types of planets. Three of these are the: Sabiroid (spiders), Wolves, and Pirates. The player must prepare to defend himself and his base for survival.
Sabiroid (Spiders)
Overview
The Sabiroid is an enemy hostile to the player. It can burrow underground.
Appearance
Sabiroids are insectoid aliens with six legs and a body comprised of three segments: a head with two small red eyes and a large mouth with jaws, a thorax where the six legs connect with the body, and an abdomen with a stinger at the end. The color of The Sabiroid’s exoskeleton can be either black, white, brown, or green.
Sabiroids can attack in three distinct ways: biting with their mouth, using their front legs to stab at you, and using their stinger on the abdomen.
Locations
Sabiroids are found currently on Alien planets and Titan moons.
Spawning
Sabiroids often spawn in groups, which can pose a serious threat to an unprepared explorer alone.
Tips
- Construct turrets with conveyor connections to prevent Sabiroids from coming into your base.
- Build walls and cover the ground with blocks to prevent Sabiroids from digging into your structure.
- Run to safety when you encounter a large group outside while shooting back as you run.
Trivia
- The player can become a Sabiroid in creative mode using a medical room.
